Photographer arrested in Namibia


A South African photographer was arrested in Namibia for trying to snap some shots of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The paparazzo was caught on the grounds of a private hospital after receiving a tip that Jolie had been rushed there to have her baby. He was reportedly taken into custody after trying to climb the roof of a police barracks in the hopes of photographing the hospital's entrance. "[The photographer] was found trespassing as he entered the yard of police premises neighboring onto the Welwitschia Medi Clinic," a police spokesperson said of the incident. "Police officers found him there before and warned him not to enter the yard again, but this did not stop him." He is due in court today and expected to face a fine and be ordered out of Namibia.
